KeyEvent類的對象應該實現這個界麵。一個組件必須注冊。使用addKeyListener（）方法，該對象需要注冊。

接口聲明

以下是聲明的java.awt.event.KeyListener接口：

public interface KeyListener
   extends EventListener

接口中的方法

S.N.	方法＆說明
1	void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)  Invoked when a key has been pressed.
2	void keyReleased(KeyEvent e)  Invoked when a key has been released.
3	void keyTyped(KeyEvent e)  Invoked when a key has been typed.

繼承的方法

這個接口繼承的方法從下麵的接口：

• java.awt.EventListener

keyListener 示例

選擇使用任何編輯器創建以下java程序 D:/ > AWT > com > yiibai > gui >

AwtListenerDemo

package com.yiibai.gui;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class AwtListenerDemo {
   private Frame mainFrame;
   private Label headerLabel;
   private Label statusLabel;
   private Panel controlPanel;
   private TextField textField;
   
   public AwtListenerDemo(){
      prepareGUI();
   }

   public static void main(String[] args){
      AwtListenerDemo  awtListenerDemo = new AwtListenerDemo();  
      awtListenerDemo.showKeyListenerDemo();
   }

   private void prepareGUI(){
      mainFrame = new Frame("Java AWT Examples");
      mainFrame.setSize(400,400);
      mainFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
      mainFrame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
         public void windowClosing(WindowEvent windowEvent){
            System.exit(0);
         }        
      });    
   
      headerLabel = new Label();
      headerLabel.setAlignment(Label.CENTER);
      statusLabel = new Label();        
      statusLabel.setAlignment(Label.CENTER);
      statusLabel.setSize(350,100);

      controlPanel = new Panel();
      controlPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

      mainFrame.add(headerLabel);
      mainFrame.add(controlPanel);
      mainFrame.add(statusLabel);
      mainFrame.setVisible(true);  
   }

   private void showKeyListenerDemo(){
      headerLabel.setText("Listener in action: KeyListener");      

      textField  = new TextField(10);

      textField.addKeyListener(new CustomKeyListener());
      Button okButton = new Button("OK");
      okButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
            statusLabel.setText("Entered text: " + textField.getText());                
         }
      });

      controlPanel.add(textField);
      controlPanel.add(okButton);    
      mainFrame.setVisible(true);  
   }

   class CustomKeyListener implements KeyListener{
      public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {           
      }

      public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
         if(e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER){
            statusLabel.setText("Entered text: " + textField.getText());
         }
      }

      public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {            
      }    
   } 
}

編譯程序，使用命令提示符。到 D:/ > AWT 然後鍵入以下命令。

D:AWT>javac comyiibaiguiAwtListenerDemo.java

如果冇有錯誤出現，這意味著編譯成功。使用下麵的命令來運行程序。

D:AWT>java com.yiibai.gui.AwtListenerDemo
